Venezuela tackles food shortage with ID card system. “Government says system will stop people overbuying groceries for resale – but critics say it’s the first step towards rationing.” Well, that’s what happens when a benevolent socialist country doesn’t have any Koch Brothers.

Good piece of advice; If your president makes a public appearance wearing a soccer jacket made from the flag, it's time to immigrate elsewhere.
Sort of like the old rule of visiting a nation where you see statues or large portraits of the head of state every 200 yards, you might be in an authoritarian dictatorship.
if you're in America, you just might be subservient to a kenyan.
I've thought about getting a "Che" tee shirt, having a set of crosshairs printed over his face with the caption... "This Socialist didn't make it"
In an effort to promote fairness and alleviate the pain of the Venezuelan people. President Obongo the Great has proposed exporting EBT and Race cards to Venezuela while importing shortages {food and health care} from them.
"Your comment is awaiting moderation." ???
Well, as long as you only need them to buy food, and not as a requirement to vote.
Managing a shortage is a key to any socialist regime. Of course, it's usually socialism that causes the shortage, like you see in Venezuela.
And within 36 hours the people already figured out how to counterfeit them!
Once again a socialistic society comes to it's inevitable conclusion. Why these idiots keep trying such a repeatably failed system of government is beyond me.
I wonder how Sean Penn feels about the potential of not being allowed to "over buy" caviar, Crystal, and Kobe beef when he goes to Whole Foods and buys $2500 in groceries on a Friday?
I wonder how it feels to have a government tell you that you are not allowed to buy enough food to feed your growing children? I am glad I haven't yet had to learn that the hard way. If ever there was a reason to oust this asshole in chief in DC, it is the unraveling of our socialist neighbor in South America who is doing exactly that, which Obama wants here in the US, this is that time.
Why aren't the MSM covering this? Because this is what they have in mind for you and me! WAAR NOW!
He's conveniently not aware off any of it. He only knows Socialism is good! Anyone killed or beaten, well, they shouldn't have been protesting the benevolence of the all-caring Maduro!
That's why they want to outlaw guns, Hunting! They don't want anyone killing the King's Deer for food!
